<p>DALLAS (AP) — Caitlin Clark's first matchup against Paige Bueckers will have to wait.</p>
<p>The Indiana Fever star was ruled out of a second consecutive game with a left groin injury. The Dallas Wings, who drafted Bueckers No. 1 overall this year, were set to play the Fever at the home of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks on Friday night.</p>
<p>It's the first time the Wings have played a home game away from the arena on the campus of the University of Texas at Arlington.</p>
<p>Clark missed the Fever's 85-75 loss to the visiting Los Angeles Sparks on Thursday. The groin problem is the second injury to sideline her this season. The 2024 first overall pick had never missed a game in college at Iowa or with the Fever before a quad strain that kept her out for five games.</p>
<p>The loss dropped the Fever to 7-8, while the Wings have won three of four following a 1-11 start.</p>
<p>In her first game back from the quad injury, Clark scored a season-high 32 points while helping the Fever hand the New York Liberty their first loss of the season on June 14.</p>
<p>Clark is averaging 18.2 points, 8.9 assists and 5.0 rebounds, and Bueckers is at 17.7 points, 5.8 assists and 4.6 rebounds. Bueckers has missed four games this season, first with a concussion and then an illness.</p>
